Get ready because on September 29th, 2009, Shrink will be hitting the shelves and you’ll want to get your hands on a copy.
Shrink was an Official Selection of the 2009 Sundance Film Festival and has been called “funny, tart and fascinating” by Cinema Signals. It’s an amusingly interesting watch. The way Kevin Spacey and my favorite actor, Robin Williams, played in this movie were wonderful; you won’t be disappointed.
Now, granted, it does have a few slow and dark moments in this film, and you will find yourself teary eyed (depending on what’s going on in your life when you watch it; I think it just sort of hits people different ways emotionally), but overall, we saw the humor in Shrink and were able to understand what was going on. We did shed a few tears with this one, but totally recommend a viewing of this movie. I know for us, it was pretty touching. It had a great story line and the characters fit their parts so well.
Synopsis
Henry Carter (spacey) is L.A.’s top celebrity psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a famous actress (Saffron Burrows), a wildly insecure young writer (Mark Webber) and an obsessive-compulsive-super-agent (Dallas Roberts). Disillusioned with both his career and personal life, Henry’s only hope of salvation could come from his first pro bono case, a beautiful but troubled teenage girl (Keke Palmer), but considering his present state of mind, is Henry ready for the real-life problems of someone who lives far from the Hollywood Hills?

FYI: Jackson Browne is regularly cited as contemporary music’s quintessential confessional singer-songwriter, making his contribution to Shrink an ideal fit. Commenting on “Here,” Browne said, “The song is about two characters in the film who are struggling to accept what has happened in their lives. It’s about trying to be here in the present, even if you don’t really care for the present.”
